The first post says it all Shalom, This is the home of the Pittsfield Jew. Sure its neat to read about Jews in Brooklyn who are very observant but how about a not so observant Jew who lives in the Mid West?

A late lunch

Jonny spent the day dealing with missing date of birth issues. He got bored by looking at the Ancestry.com website ads. So he played around over there. Eventually he ate a late lunch. 2PM is when he usually blogs. He drifted in and out of consciousness again today. Angelina had a lot of fun subbing. Too much. The secretary never showed up and Angelina was there from 7:30 AM to around 1 PM. She had a massive headache from lack of eating. No one was courteous enough to notify her. Speaking of notifying. Angelina has been in contact with the Rabbi about Lorraine's upcoming (2011) Bat Mitzvah. As it turns out the congregation was just about to send out notices about the dates, they assigned. Angelina said any date but Labor Day. She hates UM move in day and UM football Saturdays. The town gets royally screwed over. It is crawling with people and is not her idea of the best time for out of town guests. As a matter of fact all people should stay away that day. Jonny returned the book to the congregation library and talked with the Librarian and Rabbi while waiting for Lorraine. Alberta was sick and didn't go to afternoon Hebrew School. The new Librarian has an Israeli born husband and has a different perspective on life than Angelina and Jonny. Jonny is up to page 41 of Death in a Strange Country There was a tostado football game last night. Does that make you hungry? for chips tostados? For some reason the living room smells like dog pee. Jonny has been working on the new semester. It starts in a week. Also tomorrow is the big day, Ohio bound. This morning Jonny dropped off Jesse and Lorraine at Ernie and Amy's house. Ernie bought the house off Jonny and Angelina's friends that moved to Israel, Michael and Janeane. Ernie says they moved in as average Jews and moved out as devout Jews. They took on new names that weren't on the original deeds. Ernie says he is what is called a Mid-Western Jew now. He used to be a East Coast Jew
